Preventive Health Care

Close

We can advise on all aspects of preventive health care, and offer vaccination against common diseases in cats, dogs and rabbits. We also stock a comprehensive range of effective worm, flea and tick treatments.

Neutering (spay and castration) of pet species can also be an important part of preventive health care, and here at the surgery we offer a full advice service on these procedures.

Microchipping

Close

It is now compulsory to have your dog microchipped so don’t get caught out and receive a hefty fine – worst still, don’t be parted from your dog just because you haven’t got him/her chipped. Should the worst happen and your dog got lost the microchip will help reunite you both.

At the surgery we use biotherm chips, which in addition to allowing permanent identification of your pet, also enables us to check your pets temperature without the use of the much feared thermometer!

A microchip is also the first requirement needed if you are thinking of taking your pet abroad. Please see our pet passport section, or call us at the surgery if you require more information about travelling with your pet.

Pet care advice

Close

All of our qualified staff have the experience and knowledge to advise on the full range of pet care issues, from training and care of young pets to diet, nutrition, behaviour and senior pet health.

One of our nurses have qualifications in pet behaviour and regularly give advice on puppy training and a variety of behaviour issues, from anxiety, introducing new pets to the household, urinating in the house and many more. She will discuss any concerns you have either at the surgery or by visiting you and your pet at home.

Puppy classes

Close

Training and socialising are essential to get started when puppies are young, as they are learning all the time. Here at Richmond Vets we offer classes which can help with both of these whilst making it fun for them, and you, at the same time.

They are organised and run by Pippa Hutchinson who teaches you how to use a clicker aid as an effective training method, offers general advice on allowing your puppy off the lead for the first time, tips on making sure they come to you when called and answer any queries or concerns you may have about your new puppy. These classes importantly allow your puppy to socialise with other puppies in a fun and safe environment, and as they are held here at the surgery it means they become familiar with visiting the Vets, associating it with good experiences, which then helps with future visits for treatment. It brings fun to learning and they will be awarded a well deserved certificate at the end of the course!

This is a 4 week course which is held every Tuesday evening between 7.30 and 8.30pm. For more information, or to join in on the fun and book a place on the course, please contact Pippa on 07733086007

Our team of fully qualified nurses are on hand to offer advice on a range of health care topics.

Appointments can be made with the nurses during their clinic hours if you wish to discuss and address any issues or problems you may have with your pet. Currently these clinics are specifically designed to deal with obesity in pets, puppy/kitten health and training, senior pet health and micro-chipping.

Please call us for more information and to make an appointment.

Prescriptions

Close

Here at the surgery we stock an extensive range of prescription drugs, pet foods and also non-prescription items. Prescription drugs can only be supplied when authorised by a vet, therefore we respectfully ask that, when ordering a repeat prescription, 24 hours notice is given.

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered by telephone, in person at the surgery, or by completing our online prescription form. Prescription drugs can only be supplied to animals deemed ‘under our care’. In practice, this means that we must have examined your pet in the last 6 months to be able to prescribe such drugs.

Written prescriptions are also available from the surgery. Please ask at reception for details.
